Research Foci:
The Engineering Education Research Center (EERC) at Washington State University has addressed and is addressing a number of research questions important to engineering education. Listed below are sample question to which we have begun to address.
- What attributes designed in engineering professionals should be developed in baccalaureate programs?
- How is engineering design learned and performed? How is design performance assessed reliably and with validity?
- How do learning communities affect engineering student retention, engagement, and attitudes toward engineering careers?
- How can educational technology be used for cybermentoring to support and motivate learning of mathematics in K-12 schools?
- How can concept visualization enhance student attitudes and learning in engineering and computer science classes?
